For all the Star Trek fiends out there, you might want to wash your hands clean with these! I found these rare, customized moist towelettes from the Moist Towelette Online Museum. You can contact the “museum curator” if you are interested in procuring some of these for a sanitary promotion. Or maybe you need to wipe down your spaceship…

Simply genius, Lego gave out these packages containing a single white building block at the Star Wars Premiere a few years ago. The tagline dares you to “Create your own empire.” The humor resonates with the cultish fans of Star Wars and stands to Lego’s core principles for innovation and creation.

Papa Johns at your front door! This clever sticky flyer shows a delivery man holding a fresh box of pizza, that when magnified through the peephole, appears to be life-sized! As the flyers were strategically placed, the guerrilla marketing team knocked on doors to signal a response from inside. Imagine the excitement. “What? A pizza man is here? I didn’t order any pizza.” Well, maybe you should!
Check out another funny pizza delivery promotion!

Jump on the trend of bagvertising! More and more, advertising is stretching beyond the confines of traditional media outlets. I love the inspired design of this bag. The jump rope concept fully utilizes and plays with the features of the medium. I guess it’s not pure originality because the idea has obviously been replicated, but I still say kudos for creativity and thinking outside the bag!

This vintage print ad features the headline, “Dodge Police Cars,” which offers a call to action with a dual meaning. I avoid police cars at all costs. Was the pun intentionally rebellious? One can’t be sure, but the 1974 Dodge Monaco is most famous for its role as the Bluesmobile in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers. Any way you steer it, it’s funny how the message still resonates today.

If you can’t take the heat, get out of the…bathroom? A hand dryer in Thailand becomes an unexpected platform for advertising and comedy. You can’t help but laugh out loud at this idea, which tangibly communicates the hotness of Wolf Hot Sauce. Funny equals effective!

These wacky snacks originate from the land down under. The Aussie grocery chain, Coles, has designed quirky packaging to promote its brand of snacks. Creativity pays off to develop a comedic personality for what would normally be a generic store brand.
